Salvatore Levantino was born in 1973. He received the Laurea degree (cum laude) and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 1998 and 2002, respectively. During the Ph.D., his research interest was focused on fully integrated oscillators and fast-settling frequency synthesizers for wireless applications. From 2000 to 2002 he was a consultant at Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies, Murray Hill (NJ), working on IF-sampling receiver architectures and 5-GHz wireless LAN RF front-ends. Since 2005, he has been Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and subsequently Full Professor of Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. Between 2002 and 2006, he was a lecturer of "Analog Electronics" at Politecnico di Milano and between 2004 and 2010 he was the instructor of the course of "Integrated Communication Systems". Since 2010, he teaches the graduate course of “RF Electronics” and since 2015 the undergraduate course of “Introductions to Electronics”. His current research includes wireless transceivers, frequency synthesizers and data converters. Dr. Levantino is co-author of 100+ papers on IEEE journals and conferences and of Integrated Frequency Synthesizers for Wireless Systems (Cambridge University Press, 2007). He holds 7 patents. Dr. Levantino was an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for the Solid-State Circuits Society. He served on the Steering Committee and on the Technical Program Committee for the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium, as Guest Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, and as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II. He is now a member of the TPC of the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) and of the IEEE European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC).
